[SOLVED] Avant Window Manager applets not working

[MattBD]

OK, if once you've added Ubuntu Tweak and used that to subscribe to the repositories, and run sudo apt-get update from the terminal, there should be several packages available. If you enter the following:

sudo apt-get install awn-applets-c-core awn-applets-c-extras awn-applets-python-core awn-applets-python-extras

Then go into awn-manager, you should have a load of applets available. I know this works as I've just this second done it.

I installed Ubuntu Tweak, but it doesn't run.

Hmm, not sure why it did that. I've just installed Tweak on a fresh install and it worked fine for me.

The applet package had an update today, and I just checked quickly and the applets are there now! Don't have any time to test them out right now since I have work...

All right the applets are awesome, but a few don't work (ones i dont use). I have 1 more quick question about the AWN Weather applet. I have seen screenshots of the applet showing a map, and there are settings for the map, but I don't know how to get the map to appear.
EDIT: I feel dumb, it's middle click.
